My Favourite Song

Stimulation by Wa Wa Nee is my all time favourite song.  When I was in high school I loved this song along with Samantha Fox's Touch Me.  So picture this.....it is 1987 and both these songs were being played on Countdown.  I think the reason I loved this song was the that the film clip was fantastic and I may have had a crush the guys in Wa Wa Nee.

    Take him out of love

He's been there before
He knows the feeling it can give
Loss of memory
Lots of indecision

Doesn't know who to believe.
Well
I know the merits of a motion
Directed to the man in me
I'll be as good as the next best boy
But you know what I really need:

All I need to get is stimulation
So get me up against the wall
You knew I needed stimulation
But I never thought you'd be that bold.
Lucky guy

His world's on fire
He can get it up night and day
Oh
I wish I could get the feeling
And give the girls something to say:
All I need to get is stimulation
So get me up against the wall

Well
I know the merits of a motion
Directed to the man in me
I'll be as good as the next best boy
But you know what I really need:
All I need to get is stimulation
So get me up against the wall

All I need is stimulation
Do it and I lose contral
You knew I need.ed stimulation
But I never thought you'd be that bold.

30 turns to 40

In a few months I turn 40. One of those big milestone birthdays. Over the past couple of days I have been reflecting on this and what I have achieved or not achieved in the last 10 years.

When I turned 30 I wrote a little book about my first thirty years. I am going to share some of it with you. Here is an excerpt. This was the introduction I wrote.

The Intro

Welcome, to the first 30 years of my life. Wow, what a 30 years it has been. Three decades!!!! I discoed through the
70’s, breakdanced my way through the 80’s and slept my way through most of the 90’s. LOL. Things have changed a lot in these three decades ard so have i just check out the picture section. Can you believe some of those pictures???? I can’t!!!

Just in my life time I have seen the advent of computers from the Amstrad and the Commodore 64 to what they are
today I remember having cassettes and LPs most of which I still have. Our first video player didn’t have a infrared remote control it had this 3 metre cord connected to player. We were forever tripping over it. Microwaves were these big, huge contraptions. My mother wouldn’t even let us stay in the same room because she thought we would get radiation poisoning. Mobile phones had these big battery packs you had to carry around with you. So, they weren’t really mobile.

So, I have put together alittie book highlighting some of my life so far. Please remember this a work in progress.
Over the next year I will be adding things as I think of them. This is just the start of chronicling my life for future generations to read!!!!

What do you think? Sorry for the editing but when I cut and pasted it into here I couldn't format it properly.

Maybe I will post some reflections on this piece of writing.

A confession

I have a confession to make. I have become addicted to Neighbours. After watching Jane Hall on the 7pm Project I decided to give Neighbours another go. Twenty years ago when Scott and Charelene were front and centre I was a mad fan of this show.

As time went on and my life moved on I left Neighbours. Occassionly I tired to come back to it but no characters or storylines grabbed my attention.

What bought me back? Well it was Jane Hall. I love her. I loved her on All together now, Henderson Kids and anything else she has been on.

Momentum

About five weeks ago I joined the gym. This was going to be the start of a new me. I did all the right things - 4 to 5 times a week and sessions with a personal trainer -I had some great momentum going. It was all going great. I was really enjoying it and I was starting to see some change in my appearance. My goal was to tone up and loose my big fat GUT but then something happened.........

I got a cold and for the last two weeks have been feeling so unwell. The last two days I have been vomiting and sleeping, sleeping and vomiting and watching heaps of 111 HITS shows on Foxtel(in an ideal world I would love that but not while I have been sick).

Now I feel that I have lost the habit I was forming in going to the gym. I just want to get back into that gym routine. It was fun and I was feeling good about myself and lets' face it guys the gym in one great perving session. I think I may have permanently dislodged my neck from looking around at all the hot guys.

Anyway, I just want to get better and get back into the routine. It is so frustrating when you start something with great intentions and then life comes and throws you a giant curve ball. Such a bummer!!!! :(
